It was the end of period 1 and as the students were preparing to leave for their period 2 classes, they were unexpectedly informed that they were to go to the hall and attend a special presentation. They took their seats and the speaker introduced himself as James Hannah, and he would be talking to them about drugs, alcohol and the reasons why we feel pressured to use them. A sigh echoed throughout the hall as they prepared to be injected (ignore the pun) with the same old constant drone of information that they had already been subjected to numerous times in the past.
Surprisingly, James was not the speaker the students thought he was. He filled the speech with humour and valuable information most students hadn't thought of or encountered before. He told us interesting and insightful stories about his family and people he knew. He also educated the students with his witty slideshow containing hilarious pictures including the "Crack-addict Kittens" and some gnarly dude with a bug-eye.
Overall, the students learned a fair bit about drugs and alcohol (through all the laughter). Hopefully this presentation left students thinking and wondering about the choices they make regarding the use of these various drugs. It was a very memorable and entertaining presentation and we invite you all to attend one in your area if you can.
